BR lists John Emery as underclassman with a shot at Heisman
Posted by NolaTiger52 on 4/2/19 at 4:21 pm245
Brad Shepard of Bleacher Report wrote an article titled "10 Underclassmen with Best Shot at Heisman", and listed John Emory as one of the ten with the best shot.

[quote]When Leonard Fournette was in high school, he talked about winning the Heisman Trophy as a freshman at LSU. Unfortunately for him and the Tigers, that didn't happen.
The latest elite Bayou Bengals running back from the home state isn't talking a bunch of noise while coming out of Destrehan High School, but John Emery Jr. could still turn into a superstar.
If you want an incoming freshman running back who can vie for college football's top honor in his first year, betting on Alabama's Trey Sanders or Michigan's Zach Charbonnet makes sense. But neither is virtually guaranteed carries like Emery.
He's the nation's second-ranked running back, according to the 247Sports Composite (first overall for 247Sports). The 5'11", 210-pound former high school star also has the clearest path to a starting job after Nick Brossette exhausted his eligibility.
Head coach Ed Orgeron will give a shot at the gig to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who ran for 658 yards and seven touchdowns in relief of Brossette a season ago. Incoming freshman Tyrion Davis, as well as Chris Curry and Tae Provens, will have opportunities, too.
But Emery is a next-level playmaker who has the ability to bruise defenses between the tackles and break outside for huge gains. He'll be hurt considerably by the fact he's not a mid-term enrollee going through spring drills, but he's too good to keep off the field.
Will that happen early enough in the season to get the Heisman hype rolling? That depends on what kind of first impression he makes this summer.

Bleacher Reports can STTDB. Surprised they took a break from the oppression of black athletes long enough to see who the top recruits were.

Why is Zach Charbonnet a better bet?

Mentions Provens a week after he entered portal.

Michigan returns 4 starters on a line that averaged 4.96 yards per carry, good enough for 29th in the nation.

I would be shocked if any player currently on the LSU roster wins a Heisman. Not because I don’t think we have the talent, we just don’t play enough shitty teams and put up 70 points a game.

Not if I know the LSU offense..

So that makes any talented freshmen a good bet for Heisman?

IMO, Stingley will have more of an impact than Emery overall. Punt return will be exciting again to watch.

Won't get enough carries to win the Heisman.

Best players on beat teams.
I dont Thinknwither have the raw numbers to win on a 11-2 team.

The Heisman is a stupid award now days anyhow.

I think Tyrion Davis will make a bigger impact as a frosh

The fourth best running back coming out of high school, a composite 4 star, with that offensive line, a competent QB in Shea Patterson to keep defenses honest and a Big 10 schedule?
Yes.
